Went to test it pax side working fine but drivers side no. Had a look, the bolt which clamps the arm to the wiper motor is in a different place so when it moved it jammed into the guttering above. No biggy take the arm off and and shift the splined adapter in the arm to a position where the retaining bolt will not hit the gutter. NOTE: wiper motor does not have park mode like the new fangled machines.When you turn the switch off it stops dead at that position on the windscreen. Test again pax motor running but drivers one not, not fuse which is for both of them, fuse is pristine and the motor has burned out. Shouldnt have, its only been running since Lucas made it in 1956. Its only done 1.3 million miles (not KPH) No biggy I say nothing money wont fix by buying another one from the Bedford god, will take it out and send him an email for a replacement. Undo the bolts holding it on and the whole windscreen seal support structure is rusted and falls away. So now I have to weld up the support but before that have to take out the windscreen and buy a new windscreen seal because the old one has shrunk and is perished. God give me strength to go on!	prefect (6291)

I have never had a CF but I had not heard too much wrong them they were used as ambulances.	prefect (6291)

After some messing about under the bonnet, he concluded the pump motor was stuffed. Said husband would piss around for the next 10 hours and conclude the same. Husband persisted through dinner, using his meter etc and concluded it was fine and there was no problem, He took it all out, cleaned it all up and put it back in and voila, all working. Seems last owner(?) had put something in it, soapy but gritty as well and as it got to the bottom of the container it clogged up. LOL...	pctek (84)
